In 2004, Chevrolet introduced the Equinox to replace the mini SUV known as the
Tracker. The Chevrolet Equinox was promoted as an entry level, mid sized
crossover SUV, adequately filling the gap between a full size sport utility
vehicle and a passenger sedan. Incorporating a sleek aerodynamic design, Equinox
was a knockout to look at from the very beginning.
Crossover vehicles are differentiated from sports utility vehicles by a unibody
construction that provides cargo and passenger space in a more economical and
fuel efficient fashion.
The new Equinox boasts a unique combination of performance and safety. Visual
appeal is stronger than ever, and sliding rear seats substantially increase leg
room for back seat passengers. Although there are several trim models from which
to choose, the one seeming to draw all the attention these days is the Equinox
Sport. The Equinox Sport model includes a j-gate shifter and leather wrapped
steering wheel, which compliments the high bolstered heated leather front seats.
Gauges backlit in blue enhance the sport specific appearance, highlighted by a
140 mph speedometer.
The vehicle's lineup also includes the Equinox LTZ. This top of the line version
includes breathtaking attention to visual details such as the 17-inch bright
chrome clad aluminum wheels and chrome door handles and roof rack inserts. A
rear spoiler also differentiates the Equinox LTZ from the rest of the family of
vehicles.
Every current version of the Chevrolet Equinox includes an OnStar navigation
system and an enhanced handling package to provide a stable and secure ride. An
electronic trailer sway control feature detects improper trailer weight balance
or excessive speeds that may cause trailer sway, helping to alert the driver to
possible dangers and adding to the list of advanced safety and security features
that are available on the Chevrolet Equinox. |
